A conversion factor in science is a numerical ratio used to express a quantity in different units without changing its value. It enables the transformation of measurements from one unit system to another, facilitating calculations and comparisons. For example, to convert inches to centimeters, a conversion factor of 2.54 (since 1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters) is used. This tool is essential in fields such as physics, chemistry, and engineering for accurate data representation.
A conversion factor is a ratio equivalent to one.
A ratio that's used to convert units always has the value of ' 1 ' with no units. If it were anything different, then you could not multiply it or divide it by any quantity without changing the value of the quantity, which is a basic no-no.
A conversion factor is a numerical factor describing the proportionality between two units. For example 0.45359237 is the conversion factor from pounds to kilograms. That is 0.45359237 kg/lb. If the conversion factor kg/lb is multiplied with 4 lb, you get the same mass value in kg.
